Software is essentially a good read. The characters take a little getting used to. The novel is billed as cyberpunk but I find that a little bit of a stretch. Written in the early eighties, the novel extrapolates an older hippie culture as the current state of a segment of society. The basic premise is sound and might be better fleshed out in future sequels. The book is worth the read but don't expect a "William Gibsonesque" cyberpunk novel.
